Camorra: 2 mafia-type associations defeated, 25 arrests in the Salerno countryside and seizure of assets worth 1 million
In the indictment, the criminal organization led by Francesco Fezza and Andrea De Vivo has not abandoned the traditional extortion activity, an instrument of imposition on the territory and of displaying its presence.
The union with Rosario Giliano - pivot of the newborn confederation dating back to the year 2020 - then allowed the Fezza-De Vivodi clan to increase its criminal strength.
The historic Camorrista, nicknamed "the minor" due to his criminal affiliation dating back to the time in which he had not yet reached the age of majority, was in fact part of the Camorra association headed by Carmine Alfieri and, in particular, of its articulation attributable to Pasquale Galasso.

Seizure of assets for one million of financiers between Italy and Spain
The crimes contested by the investigators are mafia-type association, association aimed at drug trafficking, extortion, attempted murder, fictitious ownership of assets, self-laundering, illegal carrying and possession of weapons, illicit competition with violence or threats, aggravated by the method and/or mafia purposes.

Instead, the Guardia di Finanza is carrying out a preventive seizure of assets, company shares, current accounts and financial relationships in the direct and indirect availability of the suspects, on the national territory and in Spain, for a total value estimated at around one million euros.

WOW Raffaele Imperiale has started a process of collaboration with Justice!!

The Public Prosecutor's Naples (deputy prosecutors De Marco, Caputo and Giugliano) deposited the first six reports, four containing revelations by Imperiale, one by his partner Bruno Carbone.

Imperiale and Carbone are leading exponents of the Amato-Pagano Camorra clan, also known as the splinter clan, active in the area north of Naples and at the forefront of international drug trafficking with contacts and alliances both in South America and in the Netherlands. The decision of the two to collaborate with the magistrates could provide the prosecutor with news of great interest, also with regard to the 100 million chats intercepted by Europol's IT experts, a large part of which would have been exchanged by them.

Mafia boss Raffaele Imperiale, close contact of Taghi, defected to justice in Italy
Mafia boss Raffaele Imperiale (48), a close contact of Ridouan Taghi and Richard R. ('Rico the Chilean'), has defected to the judiciary in Italy and is making statements as a repentant. In addition to his Camorra, they can also be of great importance to the most serious category of Dutch criminals.

Imperiale was one of biggest drug brokers in Europe , i bet a lot of high level guys are in danger right now. This is huge , players like Imperiale usually don't snitch

According to the Dutch judiciary, Ridouan Taghi, Rico 'the Chilean' R. and Raffaele Imperiale formed a triumvirate that led a criminal organization that committed many murders and laundered drug money. Rico R. aka El Rico was sentenced to eleven years in prison for this.

According to FBI, Taghi was able to communicate with the outside world thanks to a prison guard.

The American intelligence and security service warned the Dutch authorities in December 2020 that Taghi could communicate unseen with the outside world. At that time he was already in the Extra Secure Institution (EBI) in Vught.

He actually communicated with Raffaele Imperiale, through Taghi's son, according to messages sent with crypto phones from the later hacked SKY Ecc. They would have been still in contact about drug deals.

The 44-year-old Girolamo Scafuro was stabbed while in a car with a woman while in Giugliano by two unknown men. Scafuro is the son of Antonio Scafuro killed in an ambush in 2007 in Arzano in his funeral home where Girolamo himself was also injured, for some years he would have been close to the Moccia clan.
He was hospitalized in the San Giovanni di Dio hospital in Frattamaggiore, the man would not be in danger of life. Scafuro's ex-wife Antonietta Santoro, arrested in a raid by the carabinieri in April this year, is the companion of the Amato-Pagano boss, Giuseppe Monferegolo.

Yesterday morning the agents of the San Giovanni-Barra Commissariat, during the territorial control service, in passing through vico Catari noticed a group of people who, at their sight, fled into the adjacent streets. The police officers, suspicious, carried out a check in a building with the entrance gate open where they found, among some piles of waste material, some parts of State Police uniforms, drugs, and several guns. Weapons and uniforms of the police may have been used to conduct ambushes as part of a Camorra war, in fact, the blitz was conducted in a fort of the Mazzarella clan. Therefore the guns will be subjected to ballistic tests by the police.

Until February 2022 he was the oldest prisoner in Campania and possibly Italy, Camorra boss Carmine Montescuro, who died last week, aged 89, in his home in Naples. For the investigators, the boss, originally from Sant'Erasmo, was a real "grey eminence" of the Neapolitan underworld. His release in favor of home detention was ordered by the surveillance court of Naples in consideration of the numerous and important pathologies from which he suffered. A few days ago he had returned home, dying, after spending a period in the hospital.

He played the role of mediator between the clans for at least 30 years, making sure that his small underworld group – called little Switzerland – had a strategic role in the division of the illicit business that moved through the port of Naples at the time fundamental hub for the Secondigliano Alliance and the clans that referred to the Mazzarella family .

He managed to cover for many years, always keeping a low profile, the role of ambassador among the Camorra cartels. Nicknamed "zi minuzz", Montescuro was arrested by the police on 24 October 2019. After an initial release, in November 2019, detention in prison was ordered again for him in November 2021 for violation of the precautionary measure under house arrest.

This guy Carbone had a lot of luck lol.

It was the conversion to Islam , an expedient initially adopted to escape death and then becoming a choice of faith, that kept Bruno Carbone alive , the right-hand man of the international drug trafficker Raffaele Imperiale , nicknamed the "Van Gogh boss" . This was revealed by Il Mattino.

According to rumors leaked to some press last November, later confirmed, Carbone was arrested in northwestern Syria by a militia once linked to al Qaeda. The militia in question, the Hayat Tahrir al Sham (Hts), is a Salafist militant formation, closely linked to Ankara and currently active and involved in the Syrian civil war.
Carbone - reports the newspaper - after his arrest allegedly suffered torture, threats and was now afraid of being killed when he decided - to save his life - to ask his captors for a copy of the Koran. A "found" initially aimed at avoiding a probable execution and then became a serious and convinced choice of faith.

From his golden fugitive in Dubai he had decided to flee after realizing that his arrest was now imminent. Under a false name, aboard a sultan's jet and paying a good 60,000 euros, he landed in Turkey from where he intended to leave for South America. But he is captured by the militia and so begins an ordeal that lasts many months. Until the liberation, in the middle of last November, and the delivery to Italy on which he set foot as a Muslim.

One of the most dangerous fugitives left around is a racketeer
Renato Cinquegranella has been wanted for 20 years. He is accused of the murder of "Bambulella" whose heart was ripped out

After Matteo Messina Denaro's arrest, four fugitives remain, considered by the Ministry of the Interior to be extremely dangerous. One of these is a member of the Camorra and his criminal "curriculum" earned him "by right" inclusion in this list. We are talking about Renato Cinquegranella, a camorrist believed to be a member of what was once the New Family, the cartel of clans opposed to Raffaele Cutolo's New organized Camorra between the 1970s and 1980s. Cinquegranella has been on the run since 6 October 2002 for crimes of mafia association, complicity in murder, illegal carrying of weapons and other crimes. Born in 1949, the name of Cinquegranella is linked to two episodes of enormous gravity that have marked the history of the Camorra and of our country.

The first is the murder of Giacomo Frattini in which he became a participant. "Bambulella", as the member of the Nco di Cutolo was called, was brutally tortured and murdered to avenge a murder that took place inside the Poggioreale prison. Frattini's body was found inside a sheet. He had been beheaded, his face disfigured and his hands had been cut off and his heart removed. Another "case" in which the name of Cinquegranella appears concerns the murder of the head of the flying squad, Antonio Ammaturo and his driver Pasquale Paola. The boss is accused of having given hospitality to the wounded members of the commando of the Red Brigades who took the life of the policeman. He welcomed them into his villa in Castel Volturno allowing them to escape, at first, after the firefight with the "falcons".

police arrested 24 members of the Mazzarella clan based in Naples and surrounding areas on charges of mafia-type association, drug trafficking, extortions, money laundering and illegal possession of weapons. The investigations by the Carabinieri directed by the DDA also revealed the growing interest of the Mazzarella clan in the hydrocarbon trade and distribution sector. A trend on which, just a week ago, the spotlights of the Ministry of the Interior had been focused, which had highlighted the existence of a pact between the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta for control of the black market

Federico Vanacore, 33, member of the Di Micco clan, was shot dead in Naples, neighborhood of Ponticelli

He was shot in the legs several months ago, he already had a warning.

It seems that there has also emerged a growing interest on the part of the Mazzarella clan in the fuel trade and distribution sector, seen in requests for protection money from an entrepreneur in the sector and in the acquisition, by a franchisee, of a fuel distribution business in the Fuorigrotta area, near the Maradona stadium.

The activity of marketing smuggled cigarettes also appeared to be of particular interest to the clan, as well as the direct and indirect management of the main drug dealing squares in the eastern area of ??Naples.
